9:18 pm EST - Dear talking head on BBC World News,
You are so full of shit - "Obama is the most radical candidate ever nominated by the Democratic Party" my white, fat ass. Obama is not only significantly to the right of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter and FDR, he's also to the right of Stephen Harper, David Cameron and most European conservative candidates (who are, unlike the Republican Party, actually conservative as opposed to a regressive coalition of social conservatives and US jingoists). Radical, except perhaps in the fact that he, unlike George W. Bush, is actually familiar with the US constitution and Bill of Rights.
Oh, it's John Bolton. Yeah, you're an ideological joke. Go away. *switches to the hockey*
9:24 pm EST - BBC projects an Obama win in Ohio
(Electoral College vote: Obama 195/McCain 76)
9:34 pm EST - OH, FUCK. SHUT UP, JOHN BOLTON!
OTOH, it's funny to watch a member of the US pundit-ocracy deal with British media who are briefed, knowledgeable on the subject of US politics in their own right, and used to playing without Marquess of Queensbury rules. Bolton looks like an idiot.
Meanwhile, McCain just lost five electoral college votes from his win column. WTF?
9:40 pm EST - Texas is called for McCain
(Electoral College vote: Obama 200/McCain 124)
More importantly, it's now a tie game in Raleigh where the Leafs are playing the Hurricanes with 9:32 in the third period.
9:58 pm EST - Holy Fuck, Virginia. What is up with you?
10:04 pm EST - The Hurricanes in overtime - FUCK YOU - but Eddie Izzard is on BBC World. He's looking so butch. GOD DAMMIT, EDDIE! GET YOUR TRANNY ON!!!
10:12 pm EST - The head of the Colorado Republican Party who's talking to BBC World News is both rude and IMO, deluded. I have to say, my US friends, your talking heads don't like someone contradicting them. And the moderator just told Bolton - also rude - to STFU.
Oh, BOLTON, Obama does not owe his nomination to the anti-war wing of the Democratic Party. TAKE OFF THE BLINDERS AND PUT DOWN THE KOOLAID, FUCKTARD.
10:15 pm EST - Where the fuck did McCain get the single EC vote?
(Electoral College vote: Obama 207/McCain 135)
10:24 pm EST - BBC World News just introduced David Frum. I literally screamed out loud.
*is filled with revulsion and loathing*
11:01 pm EST - BBC calls election for Barack Obama.
\o/
11:23 pm EST - McCain conceeds.
11:56 pm EST - I swear to God, I thought Gore Vidal was dead. Looking at him now, I figure I was only half wrong.
He may, however, be drunk off his tree.
